[03Marine]

I have been fishing at least 3-4 times a week for the past 2 months.... No Luck on finding mud minnows. Does anyone know where the heck I can find some. Tired of using shrimp. Im going back out tomorrow morning, If anyone knows, please help. Thanks Gents. I'll prob be out at sea wolf tomorrow. I did good with the last south SW winds we had.

Might try Louis' camp on hwy 6 at Bayou vista. Have to bail off I45 at Hithcock exit, a ways north of where hwy 6 crosses...

I like using a tandem fishing rig with a mud minnow and a red and white tail. My opinion, the best combo for flounder. Plus they last longer (get more cast out of them). And you'll find that they wont be stollen off your rig like shimp.

So mainly a flounder bait?

You can use them for anything, but I mainly fish for flounder and trout. Great success. Im just tired of feeding all the crap fish with shrimp. But all in all I should be happy I'm at least catching something, right.

Also, Where is a good place to fish for reds?

Thats good to know. I will have to try them next time out. Where have you been having success with trout and flounde?

good info! i learned about mud minnows living in florida. if you can get good sized ones they will catch anything and they will stay alive in a bait bucket forever.

If I have any left over I take them home, put on the oxygen and put a piece of dog food in it and they will last at least 2 weeks. Keep in mind, you got to change out the water or pour more water in it. (of course thats for the bigger ones, little ones will die within 4-5 days) I even kept them alive for a while using bottled water. Surprised the crap out of me.

Im just tired of calling all the bait shops to see if they have any, and was wondering if anyone seen some in one of the shops today, cause im going out in the morning and was debating what time to wake up is a shop is out of the way.

Get a minnow trap and head over to Dickinson Bayou.

Also, use a crushed crab for bait. Mud Minnows love it!

Ya might check Miss Nancy's Bait camp for the mud minnows, they are on Face book, and
usually let ppl know what they have in stock. Never used them myself, but might give it a go...
